All Maya lights have an Shadow Objects attribute added. By the following attributes available in the 3Delight group:
Diffuse Contribution
Specular Contribution
These two attributes allows adjusting the contribution of the light to the diffuse or specular shading components. Setting Diffuse Contribution to 0 makes the light a purely specular one. It has the same effect as turing of the light's Emit Diffuse control. Please note that turning off Emit Diffuse will make Diffuse Contribution controls insensitive; in a similar fashion, turning off Emit Specular will make the Specular Contribution controls insensitive. The Emit Diffuse and Emit Specular controls are located in the light shape's main attribute section, a bit below the light's Intensity control.
The Emit Diffuse and Emit Specular controls, which must be enabled to allow adjusting the Diffuse Contribution and Specular Contribution, respectively.
